• Tax withholding date: 2026-04-04 — 15,465 shares withheld at $3.39/share; proceeds/value ≈ $52,426.

Context

• RSU grants are compensation and do not represent an out-of-pocket purchase by the insider. The small disposition here was routine share withholding to cover taxes on vested RSUs, not an open-market sale. Purchases by insiders can be stronger bullish signals; this filing primarily documents compensation and tax withholding.
